[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Even if we buy local, growing seasons for these are very short (strawberries, for example), and have an extremely short life after harvest. By the time they are packed and loaded in to trucks they are beginning to rot. People are not used to only eating a fruit or a veg in the growing season. It’s a very different way of eating. 2. Who will pick, pack, and transport? Most if not all farms employ seasonal workers who are immigrants. They may be afraid to be in an open field or even enter the USA now. It’s very hard work, so teens and young adults won’t want to do it, and elderly can’t hack it. It may end up rotting in field. 3. Without stable produce, stores will have to shift. The lean months of winter with only cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and beets will get old. [/quote] Winter vegetables include potatoes and squash. [/quote]
